Answer to Problem 16RP

XC = 5 units

Explanation of Solution

Given Information :

We know that, AB = 14 , Perimeter AB + BC + CA = 3.8

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 10, Problem 16RP

Formula Used:

Sum of two sides of a Δ triangle is always greater than the third side.

Calculation :

Since ΔABC is isosceles triangle, two cases are possible

(i) Sides are 14, 14, 10

(ii) Sides are 12, 12, 14

Case (i)

  14−x+14−x=10⇒   x=9

Case (ii)

  14−x+14−x=14⇒   x=9

Case (iii)

  14−x+12−x=12⇒   x=7

We can say that XC = 5

b)

To determine

To find : Possible length of BX.
